Background
Lingucomponent was started by Kevin Hendricks to integrate various open source
spell checkers into the OpenOffice.org build. With a little prodding from
Kevin Atkinson, the author of Pspell (now Aspell),
a new spell checker called MySpell
was written in C++ that supported affix compression, based on Ispell.
MySpell was used to support spell checking in
OpenOffice.org 1.x. MySpell has been replaced with
hunspell starting with OpenOffice.org 2.0.2.
Hunspell builds on MySpell but supports Unicode and adds several other useful features.
